No word yet on Quartet or Storage 24, but I can't imagine Quartet getting less than 3 PTA. And how about SLP getting back into the PTA??

Nice job on predicting Gangster Squad's OW, Shryke. I didn't think it would perform so poorly, but the reviews really did kill it. Legs will be poor due to copmetition next week. It'll be lucky to his 40m.

[Wrestler]

well even if hobbit struggles to hit 300 Skyfall should hit that milestone in the next few days. Bet no one saw that one coming.

[numbersix]

Quartet will get 5 PTA points in the Jan leagues. It had an PTA of $5900 on Friday alone.

I can't believe "A haunted house" attracted more spectators than "Gangster Squad". Something is rotten in the state of America.

I can't believe "A haunted house" attracted more spectators than "Gangster Squad". Something is rotten in the state of America.

Well they both got pretty terrible reviews.

[Chienfantome]

I'm not talking about the reviews, even if Gangster Squad turns out bad, it's about what the film look like and the potential desire to go see them.
